Producer & OriginProducer & Origin

This coffee comes from Finca Las Flores, located in Acevedo, Huila at approximately 1,750 meters above sea level, an area known for producing expressive coffees with vibrant acidity and aromatic complexity.

The farm was founded in 1990 by Edilberto Vergara and Nubia Ayure and has grown into one of Colombia’s most innovative family-run coffee operations. Today their son Jhoan Vergara leads the farm’s experimental processing and global outreach while his brothers Carlos and Diego focus on fermentation and drying precision.

In 2019, Jhoan gained international recognition after winning first place in the Master of Coffee competition with his Pink Bourbon, introducing Finca Las Flores to the global specialty coffee community.

Today the farm continues pushing boundaries through careful varietal selection, controlled fermentation, and a commitment to quality that connects the land, the family, and the cup.

Processing

This coffee undergoes a controlled multi-stage fermentation designed to intensify aromatics while maintaining clarity.

Fermentation:

36 hours anaerobic fermentation in whole cherry
12 hours oxidation phase
36 hours anaerobic fermentation after depulping

Thermal Shock:

Beans are exposed to hot water at approximately 50°C for 30 minutes to stabilize microbial activity and preserve the desired flavor profile.

Drying:

36 hours in controlled dehumidifying machines
Finished at approximately 10.3% moisture content.

This process allows the coffee to retain its vibrant acidity and aromatic complexity while producing a remarkably clean finish.
